Patient's satisfaction, acceptability, and feasibility of virtual reality for pain and anxiety management during bone marrow biopsy.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveThis study aims to access the feasibility of using Virtual Reality during bone marrow biopsy, as well as patient-reported acceptability and satisfaction in reducing pain and anxiety for patients with hematologic malignancies. METHODS AND ANALYSIS: In this is pilot study, fifteen patients were required from hematological department of Hedi Chaker university hospital, Tunisia. Only descriptive statistical analyses were performed. The primary outcomes were technique's feasibility, participants' acceptability and satisfaction through passive health care observation during intervention and by participant's comments about their experience.The secondary outcomes were anxiety assessed through the State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and measured before and after the procedure and procedural pain through the Numerical Pain Rating Scale.
resultsOur findings showed a mean anxiety's score before procedure was 50 (IQR = 32, range: 28-76) and after procedure 20 (IQR = 1, range: 20- 39). Mean procedural pain score was 4 (IQR = 3, range: 0-6). 66.7% were no pain reaction. All participants were satisfied with the intervention.
conclusionThis study supports patients' satisfaction, acceptability, and the feasibility of virtual reality as a non-pharmacological intervention for managing pain and anxiety during bone marrow biopsy. While initial findings are promising, further large-scale studies required to validate these results and explore clinical applications of virtual reality.
